ABSTRACT Drawing on qualitative data collected during the first phase of an intervention-research, this study explores the concept of “social-ecological transition” (SET) from the perspectives of youth eco-activists. As a multi-level approach to intersecting social and ecological crisis, this notion has yet been examined from a social work viewpoint and limited knowledge is available regarding how it is being appropriated and envisioned in nonscientific spaces. Considering the need to increase youth participation in ecosocial work and climate governance, youth eco-activists from Canada (N = 10) were interviewed to explore their definitions of the SET and to better understand youth-specific issues related to climate change and climate action. A focus group was conducted with five of those same youth and aimed to foreground their experiential knowledge to collaboratively refine the ecosocial component of a sport and nature-based program, implemented at a subsequent phase of the research. Findings show that youth focus especially on socio-cultural elements of the transition, therefore expanding current understandings of the SET. Three main components are mapped-out (Intersectional climate justice, Intergenerational allyship, Place-based connections) and reveal that collaborations, solidarities, and connections are at the heart of eco-activists’ narratives. Key considerations for ecosocial work practice are discussed by centering youth voices, thus showcasing the need for increased experiential learnings to (re)connect with nature and community. The concept of relational ecological justice is proposed to capture a nuanced, non-dichotomic position concerning the ecocentrism/anthropocentrism debate, an approach that invites to renegotiate the ontological boundaries of ecosocial work.
本研究利用干预研究第一阶段收集的定性数据,从青年生态活动家的角度探讨了“社会-生态转型”(SET)的概念。作为社会和生态危机交叉的多层次方法,这一概念尚未从社会工作的角度进行检验,并且关于如何在非科学空间中使用和设想它的知识有限。考虑到需要增加青年对生态社会工作和气候治理的参与,我们采访了来自加拿大的青年生态活动家(N = 10),探讨他们对SET的定义,并更好地了解与气候变化和气候行动相关的青年特有问题。研究人员对其中的5名青年进行了焦点小组讨论,目的是利用他们的经验知识,共同完善基于运动和自然的项目的生态社会组成部分,并在研究的后续阶段实施。研究结果表明,年轻人特别关注转型的社会文化因素,因此扩大了目前对SET的理解。三个主要组成部分(交叉气候正义,代际盟友关系,基于地点的联系)被绘制出来,并揭示了合作,团结和联系是生态活动家叙事的核心。以青年的声音为中心,讨论了生态社会工作实践的关键考虑因素,从而展示了增加体验式学习以(重新)与自然和社区联系的必要性。提出关系生态正义的概念是为了捕捉关于生态中心主义/人类中心主义辩论的微妙的、非二分的立场,这是一种邀请重新谈判生态社会工作本体论边界的方法。

ABSTRACT In seeking to bridge the micro-macro divide in social work education, we conceptualized, developed, and initiated an innovative university-community partnership-based pilot internship program over a two-year period with four social work student interns placed within the cross-section of local government, social service agencies and community. Our goal was to work within the tripartite context to identify gaps in service delivery in the communities and support local organizations in addressing the gaps. The social problems identified through the internship program revealed service gaps in the areas of substance abuse treatment, intimate partner violence, parenting support, poverty alleviation and services for clients of color and individuals presenting with juvenile delinquency issues. While lack of student preparedness, agency policies, cost and lack of a clear understanding of the internship structure and goals constituted some barriers, the first year of the pilot’s implementation provided a strong case for university-community engagement and resulted in the creation of a comprehensive program structure to guide the execution of this internship model in future.
摘要为了弥合社会工作教育的微观-宏观鸿沟,我们构思、开发并启动了一项创新的基于大学-社区合作伙伴关系的试点实习计划,为期两年,四名社会工作学生实习生分布在地方政府、社会服务机构和社区的各个部门。我们的目标是在三方背景下开展工作,找出社区服务提供方面的差距,并支持当地组织解决这些差距。通过实习项目发现的社会问题揭示了在药物滥用治疗、亲密伴侣暴力、育儿支持、扶贫以及为有色人种客户和有青少年犯罪问题的个人提供服务等领域的服务差距。虽然缺乏学生准备、机构政策、成本以及对实习结构和目标缺乏明确了解构成了一些障碍,但试点实施的第一年为大学社区参与提供了强有力的理由,并导致创建了一个全面的项目结构,以指导未来这种实习模式的实施。

ABSTRACT Positive youth development (PYD) measurement tools are influenced by the social positionalities, ideologies, and interests of those who create them. Historically, racial, ethnic, and gender-minoritized practitioners and youth program participants have been excluded from the development and testing of PYD measures. In particular, they have been excluded from the conceptual work of defining and operationalizing central PYD constructs, from which PYD measurement and implementation are rooted. Furthermore, the existing constructs are subjective qualities, characteristics, and normative behaviors. The role and impact of power, privilege, and oppression on PYD are often missing from PYD constructs, yet they play an important role in PYD practice with racially, ethnically, and gender-diverse youth. This paper aims to center the knowledge and experiences of marginalized youth practitioners and youth in the conceptualization of PYD constructs. A multiple qualitative case study design and a purposive, convenience sampling approach were used to identify programs within a publicly funded, county-wide initiative in the pacific northwest that serves Black, Indigenous, or person of color, immigrant or refugee, and/or trans- or non-binary youth. The inductive analysis identified three key constructs: racial and social identity development, socio-emotional development, and youth-centered program environment. Participants emphasized communitarian understandings of identity development, a clear articulation of social justice principles across constructs, and emphasized relational practices and environmental factors over youth characteristics. We outline results in detail and discuss how youth and adult service providers’ perspectives can help inform a more empowering and relevant model for evaluating PYD interventions.
摘要积极青年发展(PYD)测量工具受到社会地位、意识形态和利益创造者的影响。从历史上看,种族、族裔和性别少数的从业者和青年项目参与者一直被排除在PYD措施的制定和测试之外。特别是,他们被排除在定义和操作PYD核心结构的概念工作之外,PYD的测量和实施植根于此。此外,现有的结构是主观素质、特征和规范行为。权力、特权和压迫对PYD的作用和影响往往在PYD结构中缺失,但它们在种族、族裔和性别多样化青年的PYD实践中发挥着重要作用。本文旨在将边缘化青年从业者和青年的知识和经验集中在PYD结构的概念化中。采用多个定性案例研究设计和有目的、方便的抽样方法,在太平洋西北部的一个公共资助的全县倡议中确定了为黑人、原住民或有色人种、移民或难民和/或跨性别或非二元青年服务的项目。归纳分析确定了三个关键结构:种族和社会身份发展、社会情感发展和以青年为中心的项目环境。与会者强调了对身份发展的社群主义理解,明确阐述了各种结构中的社会正义原则,并强调了关系实践和环境因素而非青年特征。我们详细概述了结果,并讨论了青年和成人服务提供者的观点如何有助于为评估PYD干预措施的更具赋权性和相关性的模型提供信息。

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to examine the impact of investments in community organizing made as part of a 10-year comprehensive community initiative focused on community power building in California. Data from multiple sources were used to examine the relationship between investments and one measure of civic engagement, voter turnout. Comparisons were made over time (2010–2019) and between intervention and propensity-weighted comparison sites. Analyses determined that investments by the funder were positively associated with turnout; this effect differed across elections and was largest in 2012. Broad investments to support community engagement, organizing, and base building had a positive impact on voting, an important indicator of civic engagement. In historically marginalized or underserved communities, investing in power building can yield benefits despite structural barriers that result in inequities. As restrictive electoral reforms grow across the country in the wake of the 2020 election, initiatives designed to build power may support proactively organizing against these changes or provide the infrastructure to understand and navigate them. Investing in community power building is a promising strategy for philanthropic organizations, organizers, and policy makers.
摘要:本研究的目的是考察社区组织投资的影响,这是加州一项为期10年的社区综合倡议的一部分,重点是社区权力建设。来自多个来源的数据被用来检验投资与公民参与的一个衡量标准——选民投票率之间的关系。在一段时间内(2010-2019年)进行比较,并在干预和倾向加权比较地点之间进行比较。分析表明,资助者的投资与投票率呈正相关;这种影响在不同的选举中有所不同,在2012年最为明显。支持社区参与、组织和基础建设的广泛投资对投票产生了积极影响,投票是公民参与的一个重要指标。在历史上被边缘化或服务不足的社区,尽管存在导致不平等的结构性障碍,但投资于电力建设可以产生效益。在2020年大选之后,随着限制性选举改革在全国范围内的发展,旨在建立权力的举措可能会支持积极组织反对这些变化,或者提供理解和驾驭这些变化的基础设施。对慈善组织、组织者和政策制定者来说,投资社区力量建设是一个很有前途的策略。

Global crises and hopefulness in community practice? 全球危机和社区实践中的希望?

In this first issue of the Journal of Community Practice (JCP) for 2023, we find it challenging to write an editorial that balances hopefulness for the future while also looking realistically at the wide range of current global crises. The crises are numerous, and we risk the appearance of minimizing those we do not name here. We know that they all need and deserve our editorial, scholarly, and professional attention. In this editorial, we focus on three global crises that are among those with the most urgent need for community practice in 2023. Here we discuss natural disasters, war, and the related dislocation of families and communities; climate change and the critical need for renewable energy; and poverty. We believe that teaching/learning, research, and social action in these crises areas need to be informed by a realistic view of the challenges ahead as well as examples of recent scientific and social breakthroughs that may help us balance the need for continued social change with something akin to cautious optimism about the future of our work with the people and communities of the world. In this editorial, we also offer three related thoughts on community practice in times of social and economic crises. First, these crises are negatively affecting individuals, families, communities, and nations in increasingly interrelated ways throughout the world. We are not able to successfully respond to social and economic crises as though the challenges we face are bound by local, regional, or national borders. Second, crises like those we highlight here require social workers and allies from related fields who have the education and training needed to respond effectively at all levels of practice. None of the serious social and economic challenges in the world today can be resolved exclusively at the individual and family levels. Our challenges require community practice, policy practice, and research to guide needed structural changes. Third, we will be better equipped to continue the work of averting and responding to crises if we keep our eyes open to research breakthroughs and examples of positive social change from a wide range of disciplines. While it will not help to create a sense of false hope or willfully ignore emerging threats to social wellbeing, the importance of balancing our view of what is wrong with the world and what is going well in the world is essential to the future of community practice. Without such a balanced view we risk not being able to recruit new generations of the best and the brightest to seemingly “grim” professions and condemning those currently in the field to burnout, cynicism, and ultimately abandoning the fight for social justice.

在2023年的第一期《社区实践杂志》(JCP)中,我们发现写一篇社论很有挑战性,既要平衡对未来的希望,又要现实地看待当前广泛的全球危机。危机很多,我们冒着将那些我们在这里没有提到的危机最小化的风险。我们知道他们都需要并值得我们在编辑、学术和专业方面给予关注。在这篇社论中,我们重点关注三场全球危机,它们是2023年最迫切需要社区实践的危机之一。在这里,我们讨论自然灾害、战争以及相关的家庭和社区错位;气候变化和对可再生能源的迫切需求;以及贫困。我们认为,这些危机领域的教学/学习、研究和社会行动需要从对未来挑战的现实看法以及最近科学和社会突破的例子中获得信息,这些突破可能有助于我们在持续社会变革的需求与对我们与世界人民和社区合作的未来持谨慎乐观态度之间取得平衡。在这篇社论中,我们还就社会和经济危机时期的社区实践提出了三点相关的思考。首先,这些危机正在以越来越相互关联的方式对世界各地的个人、家庭、社区和国家产生负面影响。我们无法成功应对社会和经济危机,就好像我们面临的挑战受到地方、区域或国家边界的限制一样。其次,像我们在这里强调的那样的危机需要来自相关领域的社会工作者和盟友,他们接受必要的教育和培训,以便在各级实践中有效应对。当今世界上任何严重的社会和经济挑战都不能完全在个人和家庭层面解决。我们的挑战需要社区实践、政策实践和研究来指导所需的结构变革。第三,如果我们关注来自广泛学科的研究突破和积极社会变革的例子,我们将更有能力继续避免和应对危机。虽然这无助于制造虚假的希望感或故意忽视对社会福祉的新威胁,但平衡我们对世界问题和世界进展的看法对社区实践的未来至关重要。如果没有这样一个平衡的观点,我们就有可能无法招募新一代最优秀和最聪明的人从事看似“严峻”的职业,并谴责目前从事这一领域的人精疲力竭、愤世嫉俗,最终放弃社会正义的斗争。《2023年社区实践杂志》,第31卷,第1期,第1-10页https://doi.org/10.1080/10705422.2023.2196967

Planning and social work: teaching pre-professional university students across colleges 规划与社会工作:跨学院教授大学预科专业学生

ABSTRACT Macro (community practice) social work and community planning practitioners do not have an extensive tradition – over time or space – of working together, despite overlapping professional goals and service populations. In an exploratory qualitative study using a convenience sample, we analyzed student responses to questions about the experience of interdisciplinary course activities to assess whether students in these two disciplines valued opportunities to collaborate with those from an unfamiliar and yet complementary profession. Content analysis suggested modest positive attitudes – and some differences, with planning students somewhat more positive about the interaction, and social work students less likely to see the planning profession as relevant to community practice.
宏观(社区实践)社会工作和社区规划从业者没有广泛的传统-随着时间或空间-一起工作,尽管重叠的专业目标和服务人群。在一项使用便利样本的探索性定性研究中,我们分析了学生对跨学科课程活动体验问题的回答,以评估这两个学科的学生是否重视与来自不熟悉但互补的专业的学生合作的机会。内容分析显示了适度的积极态度——也有一些差异,规划专业的学生对互动更积极一些,而社会工作专业的学生不太可能认为规划专业与社区实践相关。

This study describes ways women support and give back to their community in a minority-majority community experiencing social, economic and health challenges. We conducted qualitative interviews with 100 women and human service providers serving women in Flint, Genesee County, Michigan. Using methods aligned with community-based participatory research, a group of community and academic partners analyzed the data. Participants noted several personal characteristics of women they identified as assets including resilience, strength, resourcefulness, creativity, determination, tenacity, wisdom and the ability to nurture others. We think these personal characteristics represent individual assets that help women in Flint survive and build social capital. Women reported developing their social capital through giving, collaborating and sharing their skills with people in their personal networks. Significant personal assets in the form of individual characteristics already exist within Flint. Even in an area characterized as having health and economic challenges, women in this study were able to leverage their personal assets to build social capital and to mobilize resources for their benefit and the benefit of the community.
相对于富裕地区,经济上处于不利地位的社区面临着不成比例的健康和社会挑战。这项研究描述了妇女在经历社会、经济和健康挑战的少数族裔占多数社区支持和回馈社区的方式。我们对密歇根州弗林特市的100名妇女和为妇女服务的人类服务提供者进行了定性访谈。使用与社区参与性研究相一致的方法,一组社区和学术合作伙伴分析了数据。参与者指出了女性的几个个人特征,包括韧性、力量、足智多谋、创造力、决心、坚韧、智慧和养育他人的能力。我们认为这些个人特征代表了帮助弗林特妇女生存和建立社会资本的个人资产。女性报告说,她们通过给予、合作和与个人网络中的人分享技能来发展自己的社会资本。以个人特征形式存在的重要个人资产已经存在于弗林特。即使在面临健康和经济挑战的地区,本研究中的妇女也能够利用其个人资产建立社会资本,并为自己和社区的利益调动资源。

ABSTRACT The Magnolia Mother’s Trust Project seeks to spotlight the impact of consumer sovereignty inherent in cash transfers to low-income single mothers. The project offered a guaranteed income benefit of $12,000 for one year to 110 Black single mothers in Jackson, Mississippi. Participants were within 200% of the poverty threshold. The aim of this investigation is to describe the project and report preliminary findings of outcomes related to community connectedness, health, and family wellness for Magnolia Mother’s Trust participants. This report highlights the differences in preliminary outcomes between Magnolia Mothers and similarly situated women who did not receive the cash supplement. Implications for policy and further investigation are discussed in the conclusion.

The challenges of “Moving at the Speed of Trust”: how women navigate new public management dynamics in power-based community organizations “以信任的速度前进”的挑战:女性如何在基于权力的社区组织中驾驭新的公共管理动态

ABSTRACT The practice of professional community organizing aims to create a more equitable, inclusive society. However, power-based community organizing in the Alinsky tradition has historically been criticized for being unwelcoming to women, especially those who are caregivers at home. To better understand the paradox of working for social justice within an occupational context where one is not fully welcome, this exploratory interview-based study used an Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis to explore how women organizers understand, experience, and navigate gendered features of new public management within power-based community organizations in Chicago. Our findings indicate that women community organizers experience significant tensions due to professional demands and a culture of overwork that is incompatible with caregiving responsibilities. Nonetheless, practices of building authentic relationships, engaging in trauma-informed practices, and taking time for rest and reflection–practices that are not always consistent with neoliberal pressures to “produce” – brought them hope and meaning. Though organizing can be plagued by a sense of urgency, slowing down can be a political act of inclusion.
专业社区组织的实践旨在创造一个更加公平、包容的社会。然而,阿林斯基传统中以权力为基础的社区组织历来被批评为不欢迎女性,尤其是那些在家照顾家庭的女性。为了更好地理解在一个不受欢迎的职业环境中为社会正义而工作的悖论,这项探索性的基于访谈的研究使用了解释现象学分析来探索女性组织者如何理解、体验和驾驭芝加哥基于权力的社区组织中新公共管理的性别特征。我们的研究结果表明,由于专业需求和与照顾责任不相容的过度工作文化,女性社区组织者经历了巨大的紧张关系。尽管如此,建立真实关系的实践,参与创伤知情的实践,花时间休息和反思——这些并不总是与新自由主义要求“生产”的压力相一致的实践——给他们带来了希望和意义。尽管组织可能会受到紧迫感的困扰,但放慢速度可能是一种包容的政治行为。

ABSTRACT Collaboration between academic researchers and community members is a cornerstone of community-based research. The success of a project’s results depends on this collaboration. Currently collaborative practices are mostly documented from the researchers’ perspective. Based on a case study of the development of the MyBuzz.ca online intervention for gay and bisexual men who use substances, this article aims to describe components associated with the co-construction process to identify practices that have enabled stronger collaborations with community stakeholders and led to their increased involvement in research. A thematic analysis of eight semi-structured interviews was conducted to identify participants’ perceptions of their participation, their roles, and decision-making with respect to the development of the brief online intervention. Results highlight the importance of establishing prerequisites to foster a positive co-construction experience. Working on an issue that affects the community was one of the elements that encouraged participation in this project. The perspectives of stakeholders (other than academic researchers) support the importance of prerequisites and working on issues affecting the community in successfully conducting community-based research. This study also provides an opportunity to model these elements to foster the co-construction process in community-based research. It highlights facilitators and obstacles to co-construction while underscoring the benefits for various members of the community to participate in this type of study.
学术研究人员和社区成员之间的合作是社区研究的基石。项目结果的成功取决于这种合作。目前的协作实践大多是从研究人员的角度记录下来的。本文以MyBuzz的开发为例进行研究。作为对使用药物的男同性恋和双性恋男性的在线干预,本文旨在描述与共建过程相关的组成部分,以确定能够与社区利益相关者加强合作并使他们更多地参与研究的实践。对八个半结构化访谈进行了专题分析,以确定参与者对其参与、角色和决策的看法,以及对简短在线干预发展的看法。结果强调了建立先决条件以培养积极的共建体验的重要性。致力于影响社区的问题是鼓励参与这个项目的因素之一。利益相关者(而不是学术研究人员)的观点支持先决条件和研究影响社区的问题在成功开展社区研究中的重要性。本研究也提供了一个机会来模拟这些要素,以促进社区研究中的共建过程。它强调了共同建设的促进因素和障碍,同时强调了社区各成员参与这类研究的好处。
